Linocut Evening Classes – Term 2

Lino is a printmaking medium suitable for unlimited exploration, so if you want to get experimental, sign up and join in the fun. You can start at the beginning, refresh your skills and/or extend them and go at your own pace.

Tutor Cate Godwin will carefully guide you through the process of relief printmaking using lino over a series of 8 evening classes. The first four weeks will cover the ‘reduction’ technique of printing a multi-coloured print edition from one block, moving on to using more than one block to create an edition of multi-coloured registered prints.

Use of the CAN tools and press, your first piece of lino and inks are included. You will eventually need to bring paper suitable for printing on, which will be discussed at the first class. Lino will be available to purchase through the CAN shop.

As full instruction of every class starts promptly at 6pm, please arrive to each class with a few minutes to spare.

Visual inspiration! (Photo’s, drawings, magazine snips etc)
